Overview
Designed for Ethernet systems, TC500 measures the speed and
performance on CAT3, CAT5e and CAT6 cables according to ANSI/
TIA/EIA-568-B and ISO/IEC 11801 to ensure the cable qualification.
Key Features
● Contains a main unit and a remote unit.
● Multi connector: one RJ45 connector for UTP/STP data cable
testing, one F connector for coax testing, one RJ11 connector for
telephone cable testing and two banana jacks for 2-wires testing
● Support International standard ISO/IEC 1 1801 and American
standard TIA/EIA-568-B
● Tone generator.
● Two additional functions: Ping and BER Test
● Store at least 100 results
● Toolbox software to analyze the results on PC
